The    Yontigp    Volunteer, 


O'BR  the  I<nr  grave  of  our  loved  ana1  the  lost, 
The  whito  moonlight  lieth  as  cold  as  the  frost ; 

Mournfal  he  sleeps  in  his  cold  grave  alone-—    '  • 
\  -  ■  t!  on  his  lips,  on  his  cold  heart  a  stone. 

Oh,  vainly  L  seek  him  In  sunshine  or  rain— 
I  c  r;i,  but  the  loved  cannof  answer  again  : 

1  tiusstion  the  Low  winds— 9h  where  has  he  tied  ! 
Ah.  passing  the  mnrmur,  "  Your  loved  one  is  dead." 

In  vain  I  have  watched  the  ret  irn  of  the  fleet 
That  would  bring  my  young  -  [ldier  again  to  my  feet : 

tits  love  I  voice  is  hushed  on  the  cold  battle  plain 
And  1  never  may  welcome  my  Charlie  again. 

<  >h,  I  miss  the  fond  welcome, 

The  loved  clasping  hands 

That  have  gone  with  the  angels, 

To  their  radiant  lands— 

I  miss  him  in  sunshine, 

I  miss  him  in  rain, 

tfut  iu  heaven  I  hope  soon  to  meet  him  again. 


DEDICATED    TO 

CHARLES    W.    HOFFMAN, 

Whu  died  of  lever,  at  the  Hospital  in  Falmouth,  Va.,  January  14,  186S. 

BT   A    TRUE    FRIEND. 

February  17,  1863.  A.  H.
